He came down with it first, and then the other four of us all came down with it on the same day. We have all been wearing surgical masks and distancing since this started. We don't even have to work close to each other much. Masks don't do anything.
If that's too anecdotal for you, and you still think they work, I have another question. I've had the virus now, and the current science says I am immune for at least another 6 months; possible for years. Why do I have to keep wearing the stupid thing? Millions of people have now been vaccinated and are no longer at risk. Why do they have to keep wearing the stupid things?
Let people who are concerned wear the mask. Let people who are not concerned not wear them. Same as a gun. This has gone on long enough.
6 months ago I might have disagreed. These are different times and we are not mandated by the government to wear the masks. I will respect private property, if asked to wear a mask, I will wear one. If pumping gas I will not. I don't like them either. I believe they had their place but now believe the time has come where they aren't needed any more. Has anyone noticed that ever since Perry removed the restrictions that the actual Covid numbers has actually decreased in Texas? This despite springbreak and Easter gatherings. Meanwhile the numbers have increased in some states up North.LucasMcCain wrote: Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:27 am If that's too anecdotal for you, and you still think they work, I have another question.

The article also discusses the physiological and psychological effects.The existing scientific evidences challenge the safety and efficacy of wearing facemask as preventive intervention for COVID-19. The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks.
